Heli-Skiing in Jackson Hole

Effortless excitement, untracked powder and the majesty of the Tetons is waiting for you with High Mountain Heli-Skiing!

Since 1974, High Mountain Heli-Skiing (HMH) has been offering its guests the ultimate deep powder helicopter skiing experience in Jackson Hole. We use a new Bell 407 helicopter to access our terrain. Our 305,000-acre terrain consists of ranges south of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, including all of the Snake River and Palisades Mountain Ranges, and portions of the Hoback, Teton and the Gros Ventre Mountain Ranges. Vast open bowls, steep chutes, enchanted forests and glades can all be yours to explore.

A day of heli-skiing consists of six runs, approximately 12,000-15,000 vertical feet, transportation to the heli-pad, and lunch at the Heli-Deli. Extra runs are available at an additional cost when time and conditions will allow. Rental powder skis (the Rossignol Bandit B3) are recommended and available in our shop.

We fly in groups of six, one guide and five guests. Four groups (20 guests) is the maximum amount for our daily operations.

Our offices are located at the base of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village, in front of the aerial tram. If you are coming to Jackson Hole to ski, stop by any night from 2-7 pm during the winter season. We would be happy to answer any questions or just let you know how good it was that day.

Our operations include intermediate to expert terrain. Skiers are generally grouped according to ability, in order to optimize the enjoyment for everyone. Groups consist of five clients and one guide, the maximum number of groups during a heli day is four (20 guests).

Anyone going heli-skiing should be of an advanced to expert skiing ability, able to make good parallel turns. With the advancement of powder and fat skis, powder skiing experience is not completely necessary. Fat ski rentals (the Rossignol Bandit B3) can easily be arranged right in our shop, and are always encouraged.

Snowboarders are also welcome on heli-ski outings. They should also be of advanced to expert ability, able to hold an edge on a traverse and carry their speed across any flat areas. The guide will always keep you informed of what is to be expected.
